It's not fluff, it's an attempt to appease many groups of people with different levels of technical ability. You may see some of the information as fluff because you already understand it, but many people (e.g. people who don't read tech sites and have only heard about this issue from a 45-second story on their local TV news) are confused and are looking for these answers.

Where's the fluff? Seemed pretty straightforward to me.

Sad, I wish they would make it an option to track this forever instead of removing all but 7 days.

Well you can at least for the next few months, just don't update your OS
